‘He has not only helped teachers benefit but has also created awareness on laws’
Basavaraj Horatti [BJP leader] is a legend in the field of giving political representation to teachers community. He will win hands down in the election to the teachers constituency of the Legislative Council, Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai said in Hubballi on Sunday.
He was campaigning for Mr. Horatti at a BJP meeting at GV Joshi Rotary English Medium School.
Mr. Horatti is the only hope for teachers across the State who are suffering from several problems. He has helped them for over four decades. He is a legend in the field of giving political representation to the teaching community. He will win hands down, the CM reiterated.
“He has not only helped teachers get government benefits but he has also helped spread awareness about laws, by simplifying them. I feel that someone should conduct a research on the contribution of Mr. Horatti to the field of education,” Mr. Bommai said.
The Chief Minister said that the New Education Policy (NEP) introduced by Prime Minister Narendra Modi will revolutionalise the education system in the country.
“We need leaders like Mr. Horatti to effectively implement it. Mr. Horatti has joined the BJP only for the sake of the future of youngsters in this country. His only aim is to see that all get quality education. We are sure the BJP candidate will win with record margins,” the Chief Minister said.
Meanwhile, Mr. Horatti recalled his experiences in the legislature. He said that due to his efforts, over 23,000 teachers have been able to get grant-in-aid salaries. “I have also ensured that the Government gave approval to the process of appointment to vacant 48,000 posts in the Department of Education,” he said.
“Writing, in general, is a very solitary process,” says Yauvanika Chopra, Associate Director at The New India Foundation (NIF), which, earlier this year, announced the 12th edition of its NIF Book Fellowships for research and scholarship about Indian history after Independence. While authors, in general, are built for it, it can still get very lonely, says Chopra, pointing out that the fellowship’s community support is as valuable as the monetary benefits it offers. “There is a solid community of NIF fellows, trustees, language experts, jury members, all of whom are incredibly competent,” she says. “They really help make authors feel supported from manuscript to publication, so you never feel like you’re struggling through isolation.”

Supreme Court ruling on socialism, secularism
Several principals of government and private schools in Delhi on Tuesday said the Directorate of Education (DoE) circular from a day earlier, directing schools to conduct classes in ‘hybrid’ mode, had caused confusion regarding day-to-day operations as they did not know how many students would return to school from Wednesday and how would teachers instruct in two modes — online and in person — at once. The DoE circular on Monday had also stated that the option to “exercise online mode of education, wherever available, shall vest with the students and their guardians”. Several schoolteachers also expressed confusion regarding the DoE order. A government schoolteacher said he was unsure of how to cope with the resumption of physical classes, given that the order directing government offices to ensure that 50% of the employees work from home is still in place. On Monday, the Commission for Air Quality Management in the National Capital Region and Adjoining Areas (CAQM) had, on the orders of the Supreme Court, directed schools in Delhi-NCR to shift classes to the hybrid mode, following which the DoE had issued the circular. The court had urged the Centre’s pollution watchdog to consider restarting physical classes due to many students missing out on the mid-day meals and lacking the necessary means to attend classes online. The CAQM had, on November 20, asked schools in Delhi-NCR to shift to the online mode of teaching.
